Let me be frank, I think Swiss banks are among the most corrupt banks in the world. Credit Suisse (CS), for example, is a mess of a bank that could be out $9 billion due to a lawsuit and saw substantial premarket losses this week (around 3.8% before the markets opened on May 31). Yet, […]

Don’t trust the bounce. Yes, the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, and Nasdaq Composite are all on the rise, seeing nice gains over the last week. The battered Nasdaq is leading the charge with a 5.55% jump since May 24, and some are seeing it as a sign to relax – but not me. The […]

Crazy market out there, but this volatility shouldn’t have you heading for the hills. There are still plenty of ways to take new profits to the bank. The key is finding stocks that will rise above the rest. And one way is to seek out giants just like the one I am recommending in today’s […]

We are in the middle of what some are calling a “grain crisis.” Staple crops like corn and wheat, if farmers can plant them at all, are struggling under severe weather conditions. Canada’s “Corn Belt,” for example, is experiencing an unseasonably hot and dry spring with temperatures reaching 90 degrees Fahrenheit for days on end, […]

It’s a war out there, people. A bloody battle to keep the markets from going under. As I recorded today’s BS.H, the Dow and S&P 500 were down, the Nasdaq was flatlining, and stocks in almost every sector were under siege. It’s been ugly upon ugly upon ugly – which is why today’s Buy, Sell, […]

The whole stock market is falling. The Dow is down 12% off its highs in January, the S&P 500 is down 16%, and the Nasdaq, which once ruled the stock market, is down 26%.

It’s ugly out there, but I’m still playing the markets – and you should be, too.

Bull or bear market, there are plenty of ways to turn a profit in the stock market. While others, fearful of the downward trend, run for the hills, you can set in motion two profitable plays (one of which could yield a 100% gain). Just watch today’s Take It to the Bank Tuesday to learn more or go here to read my analysis.

I hope you didn’t get suckered in by the Fed this week. Wednesday’s rally, which came just after the Fed announced a 50 basis point hike in the fed funds rate (instead of 75), wasn’t a sign to run back into the markets.

That was nothing but short covering. The markets are down again today and the trend is likely to continue downward until the Fed changes course. And it will.

Until then, we need to stick with what’s working, with the tried and true companies still making great earnings, to turn a profit – and I’ve got just the plays for you.

The price of oil and gas is soaring once again. According to AAA, Americans pay around $4.20 per gallon at the pump. That’s not great for us, but oil and gas companies are breaking records. Some are reporting doubled (or, in Chevron’s case, quadrupled) earnings, and I think it’s time we get a share of […]

Every week, my inbox is flooded with questions, many of which can be summed up simply as, “Which of these stocks should I buy?” But, in times like these, I think the more important question to ask is, “Which stocks should I sell?” Making real money in volatile markets isn’t just a matter of buying […]

The supply chain nightmare is catching up to e-commerce heavyweight Amazon.com (AMZN).

This time last year, analysts’ consensus estimates put AMZN’s earnings per share (EPS) at $15.79. In anticipation of this Thursday’s earnings report, that estimate fell 40%. That’s a huge year-over-year crunch – one that made some investors sell one of the best long-term investments out there.

As I mentioned in Monday’s Watchlist, sometimes the best way to profit is by going against the grain. Now, I’m saying it again. Don’t follow the crowd.

If Amazon reports EPS below $9.22, buy the dip – and I’ll tell you why in today’s video.
